they are usually timed when EB is on, inserting a used catheter is my idea of pleasure after watching that annoying biotch...

They are just warming up the audience for the commercials for colostomy bags and jock itch powder.
If you thought Wilford Brimley pitching dia-beet-us supplies was bad, just wait...

Wtf is the deal with mayo? Its hardly the best spread, a category in which Nutella wins hands down.

@anal - Is this strictly a condiment discussion, or is any spreadable sandwhich item in play?

Used catheters are at least a break from those annoying AARP insurance commercials. "This is one great card!"
I swear, you could create an entire website to ridicule the commercials that CNBC plays AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
It's like some sick re-education program a la A Clockwork Orange.

Anal_yst - I must disagree with you. Nothing tops Vegemite.

while mayo may indeed be the spread most often used, it is just way too unhealthy and is good for only sandwiches. Peanut butter on the other hand can be eaten on toast, celery, bagels, combined with Jelly or nutella, and has a good amount of protein. Mayo also can't help you get gum out of your hair or get your dog to help you out with a lil something something. What?!?! It's your dog!!!!

@ risky
Having had vegemite forced upon me many moons ago, my only memory of it is that in both appearance, odor, and (I imagine) taste, it is by far the one food product most closely resembling diahrrea, so, yea, I'm gonna hafta disagree with you sir
(sadly vegemite is the only gross thing I've sampled out of australia, but thats another discussion altogether...)

I'm surprised, Bess. You of all people should know this by now: if you're getting out of your chair three or four times a day instead of leaking urine slowly and continuously into a disposable bag, you're wasting valuable time. A reliable supply of used catheters would have prevented the subprime meltdown, won the Iraq war, and could still save John McCain's presidential bid.
When I'm appointed CEO, the first thing we'll do is install catheters for everyone. THe next thing we'll do is chain them to the floor, so they can't take any more of those 2-hour lunches. Voila: instant 30% productivity gains!

French's yellow mustard is for those who have lost the will to leave. I mean, c'mon - yellow mustard? Sack it up and go Guilden Spicy Brown or go no 'stard at all....typical of the French to be behind yellow mustard.

Yellow mustard has its time and place. Spicy brown is not appropriate for all mustard situations.

I will pay $1000 to anyone who can mute CNBC during commercials. Shit is ridiculous.

Real men always go Spicy B (with an occasional exception for Honey Dijon - such as when prepared with salmon or chicken)

One of these times during "The Call" when Melissa and Trish are laughing with each other I swear they're just gonna start petting and make out. They're on the cusp of it, I can feel it.

I'd pay $1000 to anyone who can cite a situation in which yellow mustard is the appropriate mustard. And don't dare say whilst eating a hotdog or pretzel.

Speaking of bad CNBC commercials, I can't stand those ones for the CA bonds with 10% yields. That d-bag's picture at the end reminds me of a burned out real estate agent.

I prefer Honey Mustard. And I once saw a monkey at the bronx zoo put mustard on its own poop and eat it.

If you prefer Honey Mustard, you are probably embarassingly overweight. This spicy mustard is not good enough to flavor this meal, I need to add something sweet to it.....do you sprinkle your salads with Skittles?
